“When I was younger, the term nerd was kind of an insult. Today, I think being a nerd is pretty cool. It means you know a lot about a particular field.
At MIcompany, we embrace it. We want to know all about Data Science and we use this knowledge to transform companies.
In my own work as a Data Scientist, I work primarily on our Doing Good with Data initiative. There we do fundamental medical research on children’s lung diseases like Asthma, by applying Machine Learning on DNA data.
Indeed, this is a totally different ball game than our regular projects, but we like a challenge. And above all, it is very rewarding to contribute to such a relevant and benign topic.”

“As a data scientist at MIcompany I get to combine my passion for the nerdier things in life with a fast track to personal development. Whether it is by teaching at MIacademy, deep-diving in the latest tech developments or learning to sail in Greece, my curiosity is constantly being fed. Most importantly though, are my amazing colleagues who are always up for a beer and who constantly inspire me to develop myself not only as a data scientist, but also as a leader.”
